What Are Artifacts in MU: Pocket Knights
The Artifact system is a major feature introduced in the first big update (ca. version 1.4.10) of MU: Pocket Knights. These are powerful gear items that yield significant stat improvements and bonuses. You get them primarily via Raids, where you team up with other players to beat bosses.

There is also a Trade Market (sometimes called Trade Market / Transaction Store) that allows players to exchange high-tier Artifacts with other players. Apple+2pinoygaming.net+2
How to Obtain Artifacts
- Raid Bosses: The new cooperative Raid content is the primary source. Defeating raid bosses gives Artifact rewards. Games Press+2linegames.org+2
- Events & Special Rewards: Certain events (e.g. Raid Complete Conquest, Golden Acorn Harvest Festival) reward Artifacts or resources for upgrading them. pinoygaming.net+1
- Trade Market: If you have high-tier Artifacts you may exchange them for ones more suited to your build via the Trade Market. linegames.org+2pinoytechsaga.blogspot.com+2
Equipping Artifacts: What You Need to Know
- Each hero (or character) can equip certain Artifact slots. Best practice is to match artifacts that enhance the hero’s strengths (damage, durability, utility).
- Higher-tier Artifacts give bigger stat bonuses. Make sure you focus on Artifacts whose bonuses align with your class (e.g. Mage → AoE damage, Warrior → defense or HP).
- Keep in mind Artifact rarity and upgrade path: investing in a smaller number of powerful ones is more efficient than spreading upgrades thin.
Upgrading Artifacts & Optimization
- Use materials awarded from Raids and Events to upgrade or enhance your Artifacts. The game likely demands special materials specific to the Artifact tier. (Given usual Webzen idle RPG designs, cost increases with rarity.)
- Prioritize keeping Artifact upgrades consistent: upgrading one or two high-impact Artifacts often yields better power increases than many small upgrades spread across many pieces.
- Make use of the Trade Market to replace less useful Artifacts with more suitable ones without necessarily pulling via heavy RNG.
Farming Artifacts Efficiently
- Always participate in Raids. The more Raid bosses you kill, the more chances of getting high-tier Artifacts.
- Maximize raid participation through times when rewards are boosted. For example, events tied to Raid Complete Conquest give extra prizes the more you do Raids. pinoytechsaga.blogspot.com+1
- Use events like Golden Acorn Harvest Festival to get resources or parts that may assist in upgrading or acquiring Artifacts. pinoygaming.net+2pinoytechsaga.blogspot.com+2
Trade Market Best Practices
- When deciding what to trade, take note not only of raw stat bonuses but also of passive effects/artifact abilities (if any) that may change your playstyle.
- Don’t rush to trade away Artifacts until you know their upgrade potential or unless they’re clearly suboptimal for your current team/setup.
- Use trade wisely in events or when you have surplus high-tier Artifacts.
Final Thoughts
The Artifact (Relic) system in MU: Pocket Knights is a game-changer for mid- and late-game power scaling. Knowing how to get, equip, upgrade, and trade your Artifacts efficiently can dramatically improve your progression curve. Focus on Raids, prioritize pieces that align with your class, and use the Trade Market smartly. Once you master this system, many hard content modes become more manageable.
